BLACK TOBYS FIDELITY.
A Cat That starved Rather Than DeseI
Her Master Crave.

Cat That starved Rather Than Desert
Her Master Crave.
Toby was black female cat. with a white
spot under her chin. She always went with
my father 10 his office, returning home
when she had seen HIM safe inside; then
waited for him at the garden gate until his
return az dinner time, says Chafferbox.
During the meal and supper she would sit
on his knee, and he would now and then no.
tlce her by patting and calling her "Old
Girl" This went on for some years, when
my father was seized with illness Of which
he died. During the illness the cat showed
great uneasiness, making distressing
noises, so that 1t was necessary TO debar
her the house.
My father died and was removed in his
coffin downstairs. The following morning
the cat was found sleeping on the lid Of the
coffin. The cat followed the corpse 10 the
grave, distance of quarter Of "a mile,
after which the animal was missed. The
next day a member Of the family, who went
TO put flowers on the grave, found poor
pussy stretched there, evidently starving.
Food was taken TO her, as she resisted all
attempts TO make her return home; but it
was impossible TO save her life, and she was
found one day quite dead on her masters
grave.
